Can all variations within the unified mask-based beamformer framework achieve identical peak extraction performance?

Atsuo Hiroe, Katsutoshi Itoyama, Kazuhiro Nakadai

This study investigates mask-based beamformers (BFs), which estimate filters for target sound extraction (TSE) using time-frequency masks. Although multiple mask-based BFs have bee…

Similarity-and-Independence-Aware Beamformer: Method for Target Source Extraction using Magnitude Spectrogram as Reference

Atsuo Hiroe

This study presents a novel method for source extraction, referred to as the similarity-and-independence-aware beamformer (SIBF). The SIBF extracts the target signal using a rough…
